UPDATED, X2: Case Reassigned To USDC Judge Kelly (In DC) -- And Dates For Briefing Modified Slightly, To Get To An Injunction Hearing By September 10 At 2 PM Eastern...

The preliminary injunction motion will now be on file by noon Eastern -- tomorrow. That's. . . speedy!

And while he was appointed by, and confirmed under a Trumpian Senate vote in September of 2017 -- he's ruled against Trump more than once in DC. Most notably, he ruled that the Proud Boys would have to stand trial for their role in J6. [Four of the five were convicted -- but one was released, because the jury deadlocked on his charges.]

In sum, he's a no-nonsense jurist with Duke and Georgetown degrees. He clerked for the very capable USDC Judge Buckwalter [a Bush 41 appointee] in Pennsylvania -- many decades ago.

So here's the partially accelerated, and one day partially delayed NEW schedule for the Guatemalan kids' class action/injunction:

. . .Plaintiffs shall file their motion for preliminary injunction by noon on September 3, 2025;

It is further ORDERED that Defendants' response to Plaintiffs' [6] Motion is due by September 6, 2025 and that Plaintiffs' reply in support of their [6] Motion is due by September 9, 2025. [Trump asked and Judge Kelly granted, a one day extension.] Defendants shall file their opposition by noon on September 6, 2025;

Plaintiffs shall file their reply by September 8, 2025; and the parties shall appear for a preliminary-injunction hearing at 2:00 p.m. on September 10, 2025, in Courtroom 11.

Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 9/2/2025. . . .

Now you know. Onward, resolutely.
